The Companion (El acompañante)
In the 80's, when fear spread faster than HIV, Cuba confined the epidemic behind a wall
Overview
At the height of the 1980s AIDS epidemic, Cuban boxing champion Horacio's punishment for failing a drug test is to watch over the brash, combative Daniel, a patient in a sanatorium where HIV patients are compulsorily confined. The two collide as Daniel yearns for freedom while Horacio dreams of returning to the ring.
